Arevalo, Evelyn <br /> From: Yesenia Martinez < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, February 4, 2025 2:12 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Cc: Amezcua,Valerie; Bacerra, Phil; Phan, Thai <br /> Subject: Public Comment: Agenda Item 21 - Sanctuary Policy Advisory Group <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> Dear Mayor Amezcua and City Councilmembers, <br /> I am writing to express my strong support for moving forward with Agenda Item 21 and bringing back the <br /> Sanctuary Policy Advisory Group, a community oversight mechanism written within the ordinance to facilitate <br /> trust and transparency between the City of Santa Ana and its immigrant residents. <br /> In January 2017, the Council passed a robust Ordinance with language stating that they would establish a task <br /> force made up of community members to advise the City Council on policies related to the ordinance, including <br /> helping craft policies to protect immigrants as well as recommend ways to use and oversee a city fund to help <br /> immigrants fight deportation in court. This advisory group has not met for some time and with so much <br /> uncertainty, now is the time for the City of Santa Ana to reaffirm its support for the immigrant community and <br /> revive the Sanctuary Policy Advisory Group to help facilitate trust and transparency between the City of Santa <br /> Ana and its immigrant residents. <br /> Santa Ana's status as a sanctuary city builds on years of community-based struggles fighting for the political, <br /> economic, and human rights of our vibrant immigrant communities. I stand firm with Councilwoman Lopez's <br /> request for the advisory group to reconvene within 30 days to provide updates to the city and recommendations <br /> on ways they can better protect residents. <br /> I look forward to seeing the re-implementation of the Sanctuary Ordinance &Advisory Board and the role it <br /> will take to protect immigrant's rights in Santa Ana. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Yesenia Martinez <br /> i <br />
